It’s De-JSW All Over Again: AGS Adds Two Presses
AGS Technology has taken delivery, installed, and is running production on two new JSW injection molding machines.
Plastics Profiler-Polypropylene Copolymer
Polypropylene copolymer is a crystalline thermoplastic that starts with polymer grade propylene with 1-7% ethylene monomer added during bulk polymerization. Comonomer content and molecular weight distribution can be controlled in the reactor allowing for a wide range...
Does This New Panel Make Me Heavier?
Late in the design of the Grand Sport, the Corvette engineering team realized that the existing air management panel assembly would not mate properly with the Grand Sport’s distinctively wider, special louvered front fenders.
AGS Machine Modifications to Process Regrind
Working with up to 100% regrind represents its own set of processing challenges. Based on experience and continuous improvement AGS mitigates regrind related processing issues with specially modified injection molding machines: Material conveying...
Production Grade Aluminum for High Volume Injection Molds
Aluminum molds continue to be used primarily for R&D, prototypes and lower volume production. However, today there are several high strength, heat treated wrought aluminum grades available with improved durability that actually make it a preferred choice for certain types of high volume production parts.
Plastics Profiler-High Impact Polystyrene
High impact polystyrene (HIPS) is an amorphous thermoplastic made up of polystyrene and butadiene copolymer.
Keeping Corporate Goals Top of the Pile
An office products company was looking for suppliers to help advance corporate sustainability and minority business support goals. At a regional minority business enterprise conference, their Purchasing group was introduced to AGS Technology.

A Disruptive Solution to Reducing Clamp Tonnage
Most of the time, the clamp tonnage required to keep the mold closed during plastic injection is the key factor that dictates press size. Traditionally processors have attacked clamp tonnage using higher flow materials, increasing wall thickness, shortening length of flow and specifying larger gate sizes. Now there is another bullet in the holster; iMFLUX constant low pressure molding.
